Shaina, people are looking to see if their loved ones are among the dead. You look at the list of the missing/potentially dead and all you have to say is that it “looks like a lot of democrats?” Really? I never post, but reSalized that there is something extremely wrong with you and your jaded hate. You need to do some soul searching. You are in a bad place – whatever your political views may be. You should get help. I will pray for you.

Shaina, shame on you. People are on this page to see if a loved one, family, friend, child were at this event. You have the audacity to say “looks like a lot of democrats”. This has nothing to do with political parties, but about human compassion. Perhaps you should Google what compassion means. Maybe you can learn the act of tact while you are at it.

$ 89 per hour Seriously, I do not know why more people have not tried it, I work two shifts, 2 hours in the day and 2 iin the evening … and I receive an unsatisfactory check for $ 12520 which is genial is Im Works from home if I get more time with my children.CC@01..

Was it really necessary to post spam when so many are worried about lost or missing loved ones? Are you really that insensitive that you just couldn’t pass up an opportunity to post your spam? Either you are very immature or have no compassion for what others are going through.
